Alright you fuckers, send challenges to Parkingtigers as I need to figure out how to win with Elves. Some easy wins for the first ones to come at me.

Done! By the way, people take decades to submit their turns.

Parkingtigers posted:

True. The real delight is in having a dozen or so games running at once, then you get so many incoming turns you can play non-stop if you wish.

You are pretty new at this I can tell. You need to save your fireballs for corpse destruction, and the scrolls need to be saved for when you have a specific target in mind. Patience my friend, patience.

Unless we were skipped over for inactivity? I've been skimming the thread though and didn't see our names come up. Bummer.

Generally speaking, if you can kill/stomp an enemy without having to use a weapon upgrade, scroll, or fireball, you should save it.

GOON TOURNEY UPDATE (2/10/12) 2:30 pm


There's no "Sodomy Non Sapiens" in the tourney...

There were quite a few others thrown out for non-response, and the default for that is a 1-0 match, so that's probably what happened. I went in and edited out a few players (replacing their names with "out"), then it was a bother to do that so I just made them lose so they were out anyway, and that's another reason why you might be confused.

There was a general falling out of people who lost; only perhaps 1/2 kept playing in the "lower" bracket, and that - combined with some people who literally took well over a week, bordering on weeks to play - hosed things up even worse.

Then on top of that I went out of town and could't do the "Challonge" (what kind of hosed up name is that?) update from my phone, so I'm sure that caused even more disarray.

As far as who came up with the idea to make it random, that was me. I did have a system set up, but people complained that wasn't fair so I told everyone to play random. Obviously that's not fair either. Get used to it - nothing is. As far as letting people edit things themselves in the standings, that would have required everyone getting a "Challonge" account and/or signing in for the tourney, etc. and that would have been a clusterfuck netting perhaps half as many people eventually participating.

Check out the tourney as it stands HERE and let me know what needs to be updated. I will do my best to fix it.

Hey guys, check out the sneak peek at the new game board on its way to Hero Academy very soon!

I think +1 range looks right. Notice the "compass rose" or "crosshairs" marks every 90 degrees around the blue circle. Looking at the board, it seems designed for the power up square in the center to be able to be attacked / countered by a range 4 unit standing on the blue tile.

PuddingTea. I need better games. Game me.

Hi gowb, a friendly reminder to take your turns in our ladder games. You're about half a day from defaulting, which would be sad, since you're the first lower tourney bracket player I've been matched again to take his turns reliably til now.

I hadn't seen this addressed in here yet.

Zekers said here that there is a trick to the Wraith that people haven't noticed yet. Anyone know what he's hinting at?

zerox147o posted:

Probably that he can enter the battlefield through corpses. Haven't seen it used much, but the one or two times it was it was pretty great.

zekers posted:

There's a little trick with the wraith that nobody has figured out yet. And no, I don't mean spawning on a KO'd unit or eating your own fallen soldiers.

zekers posted:

It's very subtle, and quite obvious once you think about it . Let's just say it has to do with his survivability.

Also, my bet is that those squares are teleportable between the two at the cost of a turn.

Yolkfolk posted:

Not all of us!

I also speculate that Necromancers can raise a dead wraith back alive again, producing a wraith rather than a little ghosty phantom chap.

JGTheSpy posted:

It's not that either. Everything obvious has already been shot down in that link.

Big news post about the next update: http://www.robotentertainment.com/b...ELCOMES-DWARVES

Dwarves, dwarves avatars, new playing field with "exciting new Teleporter premium squares" (no idea what premium means). Best part is that it comes next week.

duckfarts posted:

hmm... Anybody try spawning a normal guy directly on a wraith, like directly feeding him like that? If not that, doing so when he's sitting on a spawn gate?

messagemode1 posted:

The trick must be an action you can take with the wraith and survivability, but there's really no action that I can imagine that's gone unexplored. Does anything special happen when you hit a wraith with your own soul bomb?
